And until parent buck up and learn and see for themselves - they are helpless and powerless to really educate their kids and guide them. This is the first generation (the kids that didn't have to learn the Internet slowly as it evolved. Unfortunately, many parents were ahead of the prime net age when it was developing… thankfully I think that margin is closing.

When adult parents try to caution them about how to be safe, kids often feel that adults are ignorant, and often they are right. Parents need to become cyberskilled or their children become orphans in cyberspace.
